Greetings UA-camrs!
A warm welcome to my channel where you can find my acoustic cover versions of songs I love and/or have been requested by friends of the channel.
I am also now working on some original material so I will post some of these songs as they are finished or maybe even still in development.
There are links to my Facebook, soundcloud and bandcamp pages below but as yet there is not too much to see there - I m working on it - I do this in my spare time 😁
Thanks for your support and all the best
Andrew

Basic iPhone recording of a run through of Nick Drake’s beautiful song. Nowhere to hide in these type of
recordings so a good practice tool for those looking for areas of improvement 👍🏻

Use Somebody (KoL cover) - DADGAD tuning
Переглядів 4,1 тис.4 роки тому
Here s another popular song done in DADGAD tuning with a capo on 6th fret (I think) to fit my vocal range. Might do a tutorial on this one when I get some time. Might suit bedroom buskers and pub sing-along merchants if you want to try this is an alternative tuning (also works in DADGAD if fingerpicked, done more quietly than this strummed version). Cheers Andrew
Chrysalis - Original song by Andrew
Переглядів 1024 роки тому
Original song which has undergone its own chrysalis like transformation from ipad strummer demo to full blown production including bass, drums, electric/acoustic guitars and keyboards. It's is a contemplative song so a good one to settle down with a brew and some decent headphones/speakers and let it wash over you. Its not directly about covid but i definitely think some of the themes link in w...
Underdog (original song by Andrew)
Переглядів 1874 роки тому
Song that started off being about angels and demons that somehow transformed into being about a fox named Gabriel. I seem to pronounce the word "behind" with a very slight french accent which I didnt realise until I d after I'd recorded it! If you make it through to the end you might be able to hear the wind in the rafters - the joys of home recording :) Song is played with guitar tuned to DADG...
Rosewood City - original song (guitar tuned to EAC#EAE)
Переглядів 1664 роки тому
Original song written using a tuning I learned from one of Laura Marling’s videos here on UA-cam. Also first time recording a nylon string using a Lewitt small diaphragm microphone - a recommendation from the fantastic Produce Like A Pro channel, which is great for any mixers, producers and all round muso’s. Enjoy.

I do sometimes write songs - here is an original track to enjoy during the CV Lockdown - more or less finished the writing so thought I would share! Hope everyone is staying well 👍🏻

Wichita Lineman (Jimmy Webb Cover) - Martin OM28

Possibly the greatest song ever written - no need even for a chorus... incredible writing from Mr Webb. Hope you like it (and my Christmas bobble hat)- cheers, have a good one 😀
Bulletproof... I Wish I Was (Radiohead Cover) - Guild D25
Переглядів 6144 роки тому
Radiohead song from album The Bends. Couldn’t resist adding a 12 twelve string overdub on this. Apols for the off key bit - at least it shows there are no auto tune fixes here 😄
Blues Run the Game (Jackson C Frank cover) - Guild D25
Переглядів 2474 роки тому
A friend suggested giving this one a try - what a beautiful song. I’ve only just started listening to this so there are a few fudges in this version but I thought I d post anyway 😀. I ve also tried to recreate the lovely 60’s analogue vibe of the original in the production style.

Absolutely beautiful!!! I watched your dadgad lesson on this song(which i’d never heard) and im absolutely blown away but the feel and artistry of your cover!! Great sound and feel! Thank you! Onward! I’m on it!
Thanks for listening and enjoy ! 👍🏻
Brilliant!
Fantastic mate, absolutely love that tune and Album, you nail it here. 👌👏 what is the tuning you're in?
Cheers John - means a lot coming from you! Yes, pink moon is a special album! Tuning is CGCFCE so watch that b string for snapping 😀… also used on northern sky, another classic👍🏻
@andrewsilvester Thanks mate, I really need to start using some new tunings, Just laziness I suppose, need a guitar that can be used as a tuning experiment haha 😄. Will have a crack at learning this, still love listening to your DADGAD Bittersweet symphony, that deserves way way more views than it has, should be in the 100k plus region. Hope you're well mate. 👍
My everyday video ❤
Thank you 🙏🏻
A lovely arrangement.. Is it your arrangement? What tuning would you be in?
Many thanks! Yes it is my arrangement in standard tuning although I also listened a lot to a beautiful version of this song by James Taylor
You've made it your own. Great work
Found your DADGAD post and followed you to this one. Fantastic. I hope this finds you well. 🤘
Love it❤ Can you tell me what mic the round one is?
The mic on the left is an Aston Spirit LDC and the one in the right is a superlux LDC (not sure of the model), thanks for listening
might be a better idea to play it and then teach it, less talking more rocking
@@richardgillette5759 hello, there is a separate video of the song being played through with no chatter whatsoever 😀
Very fine sir
@@nickworley1000 thanks for tuning in 👍🏻
Could someone tab this out
Great lesson not have to try this out
Would of been awesome if u sat back some an centered yourself so I can see our fretting hand
I've been using DADGAD for a couple of years. I recently tuned it so A=432.
It is the best version ever!
Nice , just found you, and subsrb.. D25 what yr..?
Hi, thanks for listening - think it is a 94/95 - around the end of the westerly Rhode Island facility.
Thank you Andrew. Great song for DADGAD. A PDF with the chords would be great.
Many Thanks with some very helpful pointers and extra touches to enhance
❤ beautiful cover
Thank you for this!!!!! Much appreciated.
Wow. Amazing cover! Great playing, great singing.
Thanks for listening!
I like it played little more bluesy sounding. You're doing a very good job the way you do it, but I was taught to put a lot of blues emphasis in it.
2:45 mins in and two chords shown Blimey. While we are young please get on with it
this was the absolute best cover of this song I have ever heard...you may have even upstaged Glen...wonderful!
Too kind - glen is a legend!
I've listened to several of your covers...you have a wonderful voice and great instrumental skills...very moving and inspiring.
Thanks John!
Bravissimo
Thank you for that wonderful lesson I really enjoyed learning how to play this.
Outstanding!
Sorry son! Too much talk and not enough playing...get on with it!
Grande performance
Very nice indeed, great vocal too. Well done
Thanks Ian
Nice, what kind of tuning do you use?
Hi, this one is in open D (DADF#AD) - it’s a great sounding tuning
Thank you, Brother! You just gave me more respect for DADGAD and new song to play next week at a gig. Thank you, sir! You Rock!
I shout like Dish washer: TAAAAABBBBSSSS!
Wow, this is fantastic! Huge fan of the Verve (other than Forth 🫤) I currently have all of my acoustics tuned to DADGAD....because I LOVE IT) and will be playing this tonight!! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent mate, thank you👍
Bravoo bel suono e come se suonassi 3 chitarre
Excellent!
Thanks Jake
You're welcome
That’s marvellous! Really enjoying your covers.
Thank you Bob - I want to post some more when time allows 😄
Grande interpretazione
Rem style 👏
Amazing! Better than the original btw..
I loved the Jansch version of this but your version is right up there with it. In fact your vocals are crystal clear unlike the rest.
Thanks - I must check that version out - i didn’t know about this song until a friend suggested it - it really is great!
Wish you would have told us the chord shapes for this one Andrew as DADGAD is new to me.
Great singer
Great Singer
Too kind, thanks chris!
Absolutely loved it 😊
I was looking for some youtube-guidance on playing in DADGAD and stumbled over your cover. I was blown away by your playing, singing and feeling, absolutely fantastic! Also a big thank you for making a tutorial, so simple and yet so beautiful when you get the rhythm right
loved it, drop d tuning?
Yes, low E string tuned down to D. Thanks for listening 👍🏻
@@andrewsilvester thanks, greetings from norway:-) awsom cover !
È un tuo brano? Complimenti che chitarre hai usato?
Ciao bravo bel suono guild
